Seems to be a lot of moving pieces here but I'll start off with the fact that I would need to know more about the situation to thoroughly advise on what is going on.In a lease purchase agreement, you will not recognize capital gains until the property is actually sold.

I recognize that the loans are not going to be 0% and some banks will not want to create lines if they know it's for real estate investment due to the risk factor. 

Here's how I approach it:- Acknowledge the Seller’s Perspective: First, I make sure to recognize that the seller might think they could net more by going directly through a realtor.

I admire your willingness to take some steps and recognize that buying multiple properties and even markets is smart.

It also doesn't seem to recognize a quoted string versus the individual words in a search query.

I think what most borrowers fail to recognize is that real estate is a long play.  

each area has nice features but they are different in valuation >the ranking's in Neighborhood scout don't give any scale.neighborhoodscout provides percentages in addition to the numeric comparison score I find more useful because it is not as easy to recognize if a certain percentage is good or bad over a period of time.  

Give yourself grace and recognize your progress so far. 

Lincoln would not recognize today's Republican Party.

Yes theoretically the CD should be recognized in court, but there could be quite a fight about that one.
